Prime Minister's Mansion.

"She's crazy! She's really crazy!" Feng Xiang paced anxiously in the study, his voice filled with anger through gritted teeth, "Chu Qinghuang is a lunatic!"

Chu Tianyin sat aside with a gloomy face: "Uncle, what do you think we should do next?"

what to do?

What else can be done?

Feng Xiang closed his eyes: "The Hong family is finished. I will go to court tomorrow morning. Your Highness must not plead for the Hong family. In extraordinary times, you must stay away from His Majesty's wrath."

"Of course I know this." Chu Tianyin clenched his fist and pounded the table hard, "But our losses this time are too serious. Getting rid of one Hong family is equivalent to cutting off one of my arms. Chu Qinghuang is really good. Cruel means!"

Having said this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Jin Zhi has always been nice before, so why did he suddenly make Chu Qinghuang angry? This anger doesn't matter, it cost me half my life!"

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Feng Xiang's face darkened, "Chu Qinghuang is always a lunatic who goes her own way. Who knows what she is thinking about all day long? Jinzhi also suffered a lot during this time. How can you blame him?"

Chu Tianyin grimaced: "Didn't uncle see it? Things started to get out of control after Jinzhi was punished. What was Chu Qinghuang's attitude towards us before? What is his attitude now? Such earth-shaking changes are impossible. There’s no reason.”

Feng Xiang said angrily: "So you think it's Jinzhi's fault?"

"Whether it's Jinzhi's fault or not, it must be because of Jinzhi." Chu Tianyin said coldly, "I have been planning for so long, and the Hong family is the biggest supporter, but tonight I fell short and all my plans were in vain. Dongliu, how can I be willing to accept this?"

Feng Xiang took a deep breath and suddenly felt chilled.

It is true that adversity reveals a person's heart.

In order to help him, Jinzhi did not hesitate to marry into the princess's palace and became Chu Qinghuang's consort. He even endured being beaten in the princess's palace. Now the injuries on his body have not healed yet, so he got such accusations. .

Feng Xiang sat down on the chair tiredly and said in a cold tone: "The eldest princess came to Feng's house once before and said that she had divorced Jinzhi and asked the Feng family to go to the eldest princess's house to bring him back."

Chu Tianyin's face changed slightly: "How did uncle reply to her?"

"I was not at home that day." Feng Xiang said calmly, "But there is probably no room for change in this matter. It would be better to bring Jinzhi back earlier to avoid being treated harshly in the eldest princess's mansion."

"If Chu Qinghuang is really allowed to divorce Jinzhi, how will my uncle be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future? The Feng family will become the laughing stock of the entire court." Chu Tianyin frowned, "I think we should let Jinzhi think of a solution. ”

Feng Xiang sneered: "Chu Qinghuang has completely turned his back, what else can he think of?"

Chu Tianyin was silent for a moment and softened his tone: "Uncle, don't be angry. I sounded a little anxious just now, but I was really angry with Chu Qinghuang. She touched my lifeline when she took action tonight. I really want to chop it into pieces." Break her!"

Feng Xiang's eyebrows were covered with a layer of gloom. Thinking of Chu Qinghuang's matter-of-fact tone and unafraid attitude that day in the imperial study, he felt a little uneasy.

"I'm afraid this is just the beginning." He said solemnly, "No one knows what Chu Qinghuang will do next. At the moment, it seems that we cannot rashly confront her, but we also need to remain vigilant at all times... …If we could find a foolproof killer and get rid of her without anyone noticing, maybe that would really make people feel at ease.”

Get rid of her?

Chu Tianyin thought of the soldiers he had arranged to die tonight, and a layer of gloom formed on his face.

He always felt like something was wrong.

It stands to reason that with the dual preparations of assassination and poisoning, it is impossible for Chu Qinghuang to leave the Wen family unharmed, but the four dead soldiers have not moved yet... If the assassination failed after the assassination attempt, the four dead soldiers There is a high probability that it is gone.

"What is your Highness thinking?"

Chu Tianyin came back to his senses and suppressed the gloom in his heart: "If we want to deal with Chu Qinghuang, we need to take a long-term approach. The shadow guard next to her needs to be eliminated first, otherwise no matter how many masters are sent, Chu Qinghuang will not be able to be assassinated."

Feng Xiang was thoughtful: "Didn't Chu Qinghuang hate this shadow guard before? Why did he suddenly..."

"Chu Qinghuang has changed too much in the past two days, and no one knows why." Chu Tianyin rubbed his eyebrows. One night made him exhausted physically and mentally, "There will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and now Concubine Duan and her son will be the biggest beneficiaries of what Chu Qinghuang did."

Feng Xiang's eyebrows deepened slightly: "In a few days, the Qushui Liushang Poetry Party held by the noble ladies in the suburbs is about to begin. Maybe this will be an opportunity."

Qushui Shangqiu?

Chu Tianyin frowned: "With such a big thing happening in the Hong family, who dares to hold a poetry gathering at this time?"

"Your Highness is wrong in what he said." Feng Xiang finally thought more deeply, "For us, the Hong family incident is a blow to the head, so that His Highness suffered heavy losses, but it is a good thing for the Emperor. Even if he goes to the Emperor tomorrow morning Although he appears angry, he is absolutely happy in his heart. The problem of empty treasury can be temporarily solved by inspecting the Ministry of Revenue, how could he not be happy? "

Chu Tianyin was silent.

"It is inevitable that the Hong family will be sent to prison, and it is inevitable that the whole family will be interrogated, but interrogation is a matter for the Queen of Autumn." Feng Xiang picked up the tea cup and took a calm sip of tea, "The emperor's bad mood can only be maintained for a long time. One day, after the eldest princess came to the palace to report the proceeds of the confiscation of the house and discuss future plans with the emperor, the emperor would definitely be very happy. "
